A bit of Fall Decor in my dining room!

10 years ago

Well, Holiday-ers, I did get 'some' Fall decor done & took these pics last nite ... more to do...but it's a start & it makes me 'smile!'

Here's a new character I added this season ... this owl on my chest ... I added a faux tea candle:

...he sits on this chest in a corner next to the buffet where I store goodies like extra flatware, doilies, aprons, etc:

Here's the walnut shelf decorated w/family treasures ... the framed art is dated 1959-60 award to my hubby's gr'father for top salesman of seed corn ... the pitcher was brought over from Denmark on my Mom's side of the family ... about 100 yrs old:

Here's the buffet top: awww...you all remember my ceramic turkey & wire cage, I'm sure:

And a ceramic pumpkin I've had a few yrs now on a metal leaf plate that hangs in my bedroom usually:

Here's a full view:

... and now I'll stop & add some more in a comment ...just in case PBkt stops on me. ;-) TFLookin'! Jeanne S.

That runner on the buffet is made of 'leather' ... it was something I splurged on for myself a few yrs back while vacating in MN...I love it!

Here's the dining table w/runner & lil' squirrel vignette...my hubby made the leaves in his workshop some yrs ago:

...and I brought out some more of my Hall China 'Autumn Leaf' pattern from Jewel Tea...I have collected this for about 20 yrs now ... started when I bought some pcs from our hubby's parents' estate sale. I remember my Mom had some pcs. too... premiums from the Jewel Tea man. ;-)

Well, Dollbaby doesn't have on her Halloween gear yet ... & the porch is not decorated ...so I'll be sharing more soon (I hope). Jeanne S.

Fabulous!!
I'm lovin that turkey/cloche and the dining room table is amazing! The leaves your DH made are incredible and the leather runner was certainly worth a "splurge." LOL

It is all very well done as usual and I'm looking forward to seeing Dollbaby and the porch when you get them done.

The new owl is looking very content with his new perch overlooking all the rest.

TFS,
Candy

Oh, I am smilin' seein' TJ again! She is such a cutie & sittin' so pretty! ;-) punk ...I'm slow posting, sorry ... I love all the ceramic pumpkins & pottery pcs that you used in your china cabinet ...the colors & diff shapes blend so well tog. I covet the white pumpkin covered bowls & those crystal topped bottles look wonderful in the display ...I would never think of adding those! Your other cabinet w/the 2 lamps on top looks so beautiful w/the pretty pumpkins, the foilage & all your talented flower arranging for Fall...love it! And, how in the world you manage to decorate & stack & keep things from falling off that top china closet is a puzzle to me! Looks great with the cute scarecrows/leaf foilage/pumpkins/etc. Now don't be climbing up there w/your leg hurt...that's not what they mean when they say 'elevating' the injury! Hugs & hope it feels better soon. TFS everything here! Jeanne S.

Not much I can add, Jeanne. Your home and decorating is always so warm and inviting. I've loved it, inside and out for many years now....just wish I could see it for real. But thank goodness you share it here with us. Someone finally told the Phoenix Gods its Nov I think...tomorrow and this past weekend has been pushing 90, but they said its dropping 30 degrees this weekend!! Yay. (I think Kirk is sending some his weather this way, minus the snow of course. Just a nice cold front coming down from WA.) It might actually FEEL like Nov around here. hugs, Karen

I love the sconces that you all posted! My chandelier is actually bronzy looking and the link to pottery barn had the finish that matched it. One thing I should probably say about my photos is they really don't accurately reflect that my chairs really do pop against the walls. For some reason they do blend in in the photo. I am afraid if I put up beadboard, my jelly cabinet would just look kind of dingy in front of it. I do love beadboard. In fact we have it in our mudroom, kitchen, and three bathrooms ttodd- I love the Sturbridge Yankee Workshop which is where I purchased George and Martha. I am glad you like the rug. Today I was looking at it and I was thinking how I do love the graphic nature of it. I have taken my rooster pillows down and I think I want some pillows with some reddish ticking . Going to paint the ceiling to tone it down. I'm also looking for a lamp or two for the jelly cabinet. Once I get a new table, will the get things for the top of that. I so appreciate everybody's help with this room.

I love the clean, uncluttered look of your home and you've made some great furniture choices. My first thought, though, is that I would try to rework the sofa/sectional placement. It really is unwelcoming looking to me to have the back where it is facing a wall, when it could be oriented to look into the room and out the windows. It seems like if it were placed in the corner under the stairs that it would feel open and invite you to come in and sit. I'd hate to be cooking in the kitchen and have the family or guests with their backs to me. If you are having a TV in another room close by, do you need one in that room, too? If, so placing a 70" unit will probably only work as you have it. But, to me, it's not going to look like a living room but more like a movie theater, which is fine if that's what you're going for. It seems like it won't be a cozy conversation area, though. I might actually flip the rooms and put the dining room where you have the sofa now. I was looking at lights used with dining rooms and ghost chairs and saw this, maybe would work in the living room? Kind of fun. don't know if it would look as good without the colored walls though. And I thought something like these were interesting to consider for over your table:

This is a letter I got back in 1985 after writing this 92 yr old woman (whose husband) handmade the buffet & table that we bought @ Larry's grandparents estate sale ... it would be his Grandma's brother-in-law who built the set)

I'll post another comment w/the description in her letter... what a beautiful letter she wrote back to me. Jeanne S.

Jeanne, your chest with the books and new owl is so sweet. The letters about your table and buffet and her DB brought tears to me tonight. This is so wonderful you've kept these to have to hand down with the table and buffet. I wish she could see how you decorate them now!

Love all your decor. I remember when you shareded your Hall China 'Autumn Leaf' pattern from Jewel Tea and I went to a ys and they had some. I thought I was going to buy you more until I seen the PRICES. Yikes, and you are SPECIAL!LOL

The wire cloche and turkey are always a pleasure to see but so is the squirrel vignette on the table. So glad you got all this done and shared.

Having the "written word" from so long ago makes this table and buffet all the more special. I loved reading about it.

You have so many wonderful heirlooms, and treat them with such love and respect. Really touches my heart since I like old things. (other than myself, LOL)

Your decor is warm and wonderful, as always. The turkey in the cage is my favorite :o).

hugs, Karen

Jeanne, Thanks for sharing the Fall decor in your Dining Room, your home looks so inviting. The owl is the perfect addition. He looks great sitting on the chest.
The letters touched my heart. I can almost see that dear lady writing them.
